Deploy Mendix Applications on Azure Within 30 Minutes!
Deploying Mendix applications to Microsoft Azure opens up a world of possibilities for our customers. By combining the power of low code with the scalability and security of the cloud, organizations can develop more mission-critical applications while keeping tight control over security. However, deploying custom software on Azure can sometimes be a complex process due to the need for cloud infrastructure expertise.
In our ongoing quest to enhance our platform and eliminate hurdles for our customers, we thought: what if there was a solution that could simplify this process? What if we could make it more intuitive, less error-prone, and accessible? Our answer is: Mendix on Azure.
What is Mendix on Azure?
Mendix on Azure creates an easy connection between the Mendix portal and your organization’s Azure subscription. Using Azure Managed Applications, the Mendix portal gets permission to manage Azure resources for your organization.
This lets you deploy Mendix apps directly from the Mendix developer portal in your own private subscription. Instead of needing a cloud engineer, Mendix on Azure automatically sets everything up in just 30 minutes, making deployments faster, reducing errors, and giving you more time to focus on building great apps.
Since Mendix on Azure works as an Independent Software Vendor (ISV) Solution in the Azure ecosystem, it can be easily purchased from Mendix and set up through the Azure Marketplace. Plus, with updates every quarter, Mendix on Azure stays secure, compliant, and up to date with the latest Azure and Mendix features.
Key benefits of Mendix on Azure
- Less reliance on infrastructure experts – Mendix on Azure automates complex tasks, allowing developers and IT teams to deploy apps without needing deep knowledge of Azure. This makes cloud deployments easier for more people.
- Cost savings – Since you don’t need to rely on specialized cloud engineers, labor costs are lower. Plus, you can use your Microsoft Azure Consumption Commitment (MACC) to cover cloud costs.
- Better security and compliance – Mendix on Azure’s automated quarterly updates simplify security and compliance, ensuring your applications stay up to date with minimal effort. By automating this process, internal stakeholders and infrastructure experts save time, eliminating the need for cross-team coordination to maintain optimal performance for Mendix applications
- Deploy in your private Azure subscription – Need to maintain geographical data control? Keep sensitive data within your security perimeter? Integrate with existing legacy systems in your private network? Mendix on Azure can help you meet those requirements.
With Mendix on Azure, you can:
Starting in March, we will begin enabling customer applications to move from Cloud Foundry to Kubernetes. To ensure a smooth transition, we have designed a controlled process:
- Unlock external opportunities – With Mendix on Azure, low-code is not only for internal teams. You can quickly create apps for customers, partners, and suppliers, extending your reach and providing more business value with scalable, smooth solutions.
- Break free from Power Platform limits – For internal, citizen-led development, Power Platform is a great option. But if you need to build complex, essential apps that connect with core systems and grow across your business, Mendix on Azure is the way to go.
- Build a connected low-code system – With Mendix on Azure, Mendix and Power Platform work together to create a connected low-code environment. Citizen developers can quickly build prototypes with Power Platform, while professional developers can create strong, mission-critical apps in Mendix—driving innovation from start to finish.
This teamwork boosts productivity and helps organizations build a complete Low-Code Center of Excellence (CoE) that takes advantage of the strengths of both platforms.
Why Mendix on Azure matters
Mendix on Azure is more than just a deployment solution—it’s a catalyst for innovation. By simplifying deployments, enabling seamless integration, and optimizing costs, it empowers organizations to:
- Modernize legacy systems and connect them with modern applications.
- Scale low-code practices into full-scale Centers of Excellence (CoEs).
- Build interconnected solutions that drive operational efficiency and customer satisfaction.
